昨日の夜にパリからロンドンに到着して、今日（２５日）Kings Cross駅の近くにあるscalaという会場でツジコノリコと一緒にANIMAL COLLECTIVEっていうバンドの前座としてライヴをやらせてもらいました。今回ロンドンに来る直前まで僕もツジコもスケジュールがタイトでなかなか一緒に練習する時間を作れなかったんですが、まあまあ良い感じのライヴができたと思ってます。他の出演者がみんなバンドなので、ラップトップとヴォーカルだけじゃちょっと劣勢かなって思ったんですが、オーディエンスの反応もかなり良くて嬉しかった。８００人を越えるオーディエンス（ほとんどがANIMAL COLLECTIVE目当て）の前でライヴができて、今回もホント良い経験になりました。LIVE reviews にいつも通り写真をいくつかアップしたので、そちらも是非。
今回ロンドンの滞在でお世話になっているDenさんとYさん、それにfatcat recordsのDaveに感謝。ありがとうございます。
We arrived at London last night and did LIVE today(25th) at the venue called SCALA which is close to Kings Cross station. This time we played as opening act just before the band called ANIMAL COLLECTIVE's performance. Before we come to London, both me and noriko was extremely busy so that we didn't have much time to practice for the show, but I think our LIVE was quite OK. It was a really good opportunity for us to play in front of more than 800 people(most of them came to see ANIMAL COLLECTIVE though) this time. I'd like to say thank you to Den and Y who helped me a lot here in London and also Dave from fatcat records.
I uploaded some photos from the show as always on LIVE reviews. Please check it when you have time.
がんばっているようやな
